JOURNAL WORKSHEET NO. 1OFFICE OF THE COMMUNITY EXTENSION SERVICESSto. Rosario, Angeles CityNAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V. GROUP NO., NAME & POSITION: 3 Sibol INSIGHTS/LEARNING:InstituteforChristianFormationand SocialIntegrationNATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM(C W TS)CLASS CODE: 405 DATE: June 26,2026Before, I only knew that NSTP was a subject that students needed to take in college, but now I understand that it helps us become responsible and active citizens. Its purpose is to teach us the importance of serving the community, helping other people, and working with others. Learning about the background of NSTP and the law that created it made me realize that every student has a responsibility to help our country and community. I believe NSTP is important because it builds good values like discipline, respect, teamwork, and concern for others. It also reminds me that even in small ways, I can help my community and become a better citizen in the future.Group 3 SibolBANSIL, KYLLE RAVEN CANLAS, JUNELVEDELA CRUZ, RAYMART DIAZ, GIAN ZACHDIZON, JOAQUIN LALU, STEPHEN ANDREWRAMOS,STEPHANIE

Throughout the course, I gained a better appreciation of how young people can contribute through simple acts of service, leadership, and cooperation. I also learned that community development starts with individuals who are willing to take action and help others. The activities and discussions encouraged me to become more responsible, open- minded, and aware of the challenges that different communities face. They also helped me realize that every person has a role to play in creating positive change, regardless of age or background. Through NSTP, I learned the value of volunteerism, active participation, and working together to address community needs. I became more aware of the importance of helping others, respecting different perspectives, and supporting initiatives that promote the welfare of the community. This experience also strengthened my communication and teamwork skills, as many activities required collaboration and cooperation with my classmates. Overall, NSTP has given me valuable lessons that I can apply not only in school but also in my daily life as I continue to become a responsible member of society. It has inspired me to be more involved in community activities and to use my knowledge and abilities to contribute to the well-being of others whenever possible.FM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

They shared practical ideas such as organizing clean-up drives, using social media to spread awareness, and inviting friends and neighbors to participate in community projects. During the discussion, my peer showed good teamwork by listening carefully to everyone’s opinions, respecting different ideas, and working well with the group. They also demonstrated leadership by sharing useful suggestions, motivating others to participate, and helping keep the discussion organized. Their presentation helped me realize that young people can make a positive difference even through simple actions. I learned that community organizing is more effective when people work together and support one another. I can apply these ideas by joining volunteer activities, helping organize community events, encouraging my classmates and friends to participate, and doing my part to make our community a better place.FM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

How has your perception of what it means to be a responsible Filipino citizen changed or deepened through your experiences in NSTP discussions and activities? Answer: Before taking this course, I thought being a good citizen was simple, like obeying the law, keeping your surroundings clean, and voting when you are old enough. But our NSTP discussions made me realize that being a responsible Filipino is much more active than that. It is not enough to just avoid doing bad things; we actually have to actively do good and help out. True citizenship means having real empathy for others and not just turning a blind eye to the struggles of our fellow Filipinos. It taught me that we should stop just complaining about our country's issues on social media and instead start thinking about how we can contribute to the solutions, even in small ways. 3. In what ways have the lessons from NSTP helped you understand the principles of ethical Filipino leadership, such as integrity, responsibility, and service? Answer: The lessons on ethical leadership really made an impact on me, especially since we often see examples of bad leadership around us. NSTP taught me that true leadership is not about having a high position, being bossy, or showing off power. Instead, it is about "servant leadership." I learned that integrity means doing the right, honest thing even when no one is watching, and responsibility means actually caring about how your choices affect other people. A real leader does not just sit back and give orders; they are right there on the ground, serving alongside everyone else and making sure nobody gets left behind. 4. How have your experiences in NSTP influenced your view of your role as a leader and citizen in your community and in the country? Answer: These experiences have definitely changed how I view my own role as a student. I used to think that because I am still young and just starting college, I could not really do anything major to help our country yet. But now, I realize that I do not need a fancy title to make a difference. I can lead in my own quiet way, whether that is by helping out in my neighborhood, participating in school advocacies, or simply being an honest and dependable person. NSTP made me feel that my actions actually matter, and that building a better nation starts with the small, everyday choices we make right where we are.1. What are your personal insights and key understandings about the purpose and importance of the NSTP program after participating in class activities? Answer: At first, I honestly thought NSTP was just another minor subject I had to get over with to complete my college units. But after participating in our class activities and discussions, I realized that its main purpose is to wake us up to the reality of what is happening in our society. It is not just about doing random community service for a grade; it is about building our civic awareness and showing us that, as young people, we actually have a big part to play. It makes us realize that our education should not just be about preparing for a high-paying job in the future, but also about learning how to use our knowledge to lift others up.Sto.Rosario,AngelesCityFM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

During my visit, I requested to see the barangay's project development plan and learned about the different programs and projects implemented by the barangay. The barangay implements programs that focus on community development, peace and order, cleanliness, health services, disaster preparedness, and infrastructure improvement. These programs are designed to improve the quality of life of the residents and promote a safe, clean, and progressive community. Barangay Cutcut is one of the barangays in Angeles City, Pampanga. It is a busy and developing community with residential areas, schools, churches, small businesses, and commercial establishments. The barangay is accessible and continues to grow because of its strategic location within the city. The barangay officials are responsible for serving the community and implementing programs that benefit the residents. They work together to maintain peace and order, respond to community concerns, organize clean-up drives, support health programs, improve disaster preparedness, and ensure that public services are delivered properly. They also encourage residents to participate in barangay activities and community development. During my visit, I observed that the barangay hall was organized and that the staff were accommodating. I learned that barangay officials play an important role in solving local problems and improving the quality of life of the people in the community. This visit helped me appreciate the importance of local government and how development plans contribute to the progress of the barangay. Overall, the experience was informative and gave me a better understanding of how our barangay serves its residents.FM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

These simple activities help me relax and give my mind a chance to rest after spending many hours attending classes, studying lessons, and completing different school requirements. I also enjoy going outside for fresh air or simply sitting in a quiet place because it helps me clear my thoughts and reduce the pressure that I feel from deadlines and responsibilities. Sometimes, even a short conversation with the people I care about can make me feel better and remind me that I am not alone. After taking time to rest and recharge, I become more focused, motivated, and prepared to continue my studies with a positive attitude. These moments of rest help me balance my academic responsibilities while still taking care of my personal well- being. I personally handle mental stress by organizing my schoolwork and focusing on one task at a time instead of worrying about everything all at once. I create a simple schedule to help me manage my time, which makes it easier to finish my assignments without feeling too overwhelmed. Whenever I feel mentally exhausted, I take a short break, listen to calming music, pray, or talk to my family and close friends because their encouragement helps me stay positive. I also remind myself that making mistakes is part of learning and that every challenge is an opportunity to improve. Instead of giving up when things become difficult, I try to stay patient and do my best to solve my problems one step at a time. By getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals, maintaining a positive mindset, and believing in my ability to improve, I can manage stress in a healthier way and continue working toward my academic goals without losing hope.FM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

Before, I thought corruption was mostly a problem involving politicians and high-ranking government officials, but I learned that it can also affect ordinary people in the community. When public money is not used properly, important projects such as roads, health programs, schools, and public facilities may be delayed or poorly completed. This can make life harder for people because the services and projects they need may not be provided properly. Corruption can also reduce people's trust in the government because citizens may feel that their taxes and resources are not being used for the benefit of everyone. This made me realize that corruption is not only about money but also about fairness, honesty, and responsibility in serving the community. This issue also made me realize that I have a role in helping create a better community even as a student. I can start with simple actions such as being honest, following rules, avoiding cheating, and taking responsibility for my actions. I also believe that people should not simply accept corruption as something normal. Citizens should be aware of what is happening in their community and use proper ways to report actions that are unfair or illegal. Although I cannot solve corruption by myself, I believe that small acts of honesty and responsibility can make a difference. If more people choose to do what is right and government officials properly perform their duties, we can build a community where people trust each other and public resources are used for the good of everyone.FM-CES 4020 Rev. 1 Effectivity Date: February 13, 2020NAME: Bansil, Kylle Raven V.

When community members are not sufficiently informed about transparency, accountability, public funds, and government transactions, they may find it difficult to recognize or respond to corrupt practices. Young people also have an important role in developing a culture of honesty and integrity as future leaders and active members of society. To help address this issue, the project aims to conduct a community-based anti-graft and corruption advocacy program that provides accessible information and opportunities for discussion and participation. Through seminars, interactive discussions, workshops, case analysis, advocacy activities, and community commitments, the project seeks to educate participants about corruption and its effects, encourage ethical decision-making, and promote transparency, accountability, and responsible citizenship. Goals/Objective: To increase community awareness and understanding of graft and corruption and its effects on individuals, public services, and community development; educate participants about transparency, accountability, honesty, and responsible use of public resources; encourage youth and community members to recognize and reject dishonest practices; promote active participation in preventing corruption through ethical decision-making and community involvement; and develop a culture of integrity and responsible citizenship within the community. Activities: These are the following activities that we will be conducting throughout the project: • Project Orientation and Community Preparation • Community Townhall Forum • Introduction to Graft and Corruption and Its Effects •InteractiveSeminaronTransparency,Accountability,andGoodGovernance • Discussion of Common Forms of Corruption • Community Discussion and Sharing of Concerns • Barangay Transparency Checklist Workshop • “What Is Corruption?” Interactive Discussion • Role-Playing Activity on Real-Life Community Scenarios • Small-Group Discussion: “What Would You Do?” • Community Integrity Commitment • Anti-Corruption Quiz • Discussion of Anti-Graft and Corruption Laws • Case Analysis on Irregular Contracts and Misused Funds • Distribution of IEC Materials • Distribution of Citizen’s Anti-Corruption & Reporting Toolkit • Advocacy Poster-Making Activity • Integrity Pledge • Open Forum and Q&A • Community Feedback and Evaluation • Documentation and Recommendations Schedule:

I realized that floods can damage houses, roads, properties, and can also put people’s safety at risk. Knowing the possible flood risks in our area can help us prepare before a disaster happens. I also learned that having an emergency kit, knowing evacuation routes, and staying updated with weather warnings are important for our safety. Being prepared can help us stay calm and make better decisions during an emergency. As an NSTP student, I can help by sharing what I learned with my family, friends, and other members of the community. I can also join activities such as clean-up drives, proper waste disposal, and other programs that can help prevent flooding. This lesson reminded me that disaster preparedness is everyone’s responsibility, not only the government or emergency responders. Even small actions can make a big difference when people work together. By being responsible, aware, and prepared, I can help make our community safer and more prepared for future floods.

GROUP NO., NAME & POSITION: Group 3 – Sibol, Observer INSIGHTS/LEARNING The SWOT Analysis is a simple and practical tool used to check the full situation of a business, project, or organization before creating a plan. The name is an acronym that stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, which means they are things within your own control, like your skills, team talents, or missing resources. Strengths highlight what you do best and what advantages you bring, while weaknesses point out areas that need clear improvement. On the other hand, opportunities and threats are external factors coming from the outside world, such as changing market trends, new rules, or outside competition. Opportunities show positive trends you can take advantage of, whereas threats represent outside risks that could cause trouble for your goals. By putting these four factors into a clear grid or template, you can easily organize your thoughts and see the big picture. However, simply listing your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is only the first step of the process. The real magic happens when you connect these points using a TOWS strategy to turn your observations into real actions. For instance, you can use your strong points to grab new opportunities or fix internal weak spots to avoid potential dangers. Ultimately, conducting a SWOT analysis helps you make grounded, well-thought-out decisions instead of guessing your next steps. It serves as a helpful roadmap for businesses, community groups, and even individuals looking to reach their goals effectively.CLASS CODE: 405 DATE: September 16, 2026

Since it was my first time meeting the facilitator, I was also curious about how they would handle the class and what their expectations would be. As the session started, I slowly became more comfortable because I was able to see some of my former classmates again. They told me that the facilitator was kind and approachable, which helped lessen my nervousness and made me feel more at ease. I also enjoyed our NSTP session because I got to spend time with my classmates while participating in the activities. The experience was better than I expected, and I realized that there was no need to worry too much before meeting the facilitator. Overall, I enjoyed the session and felt more comfortable with our new facilitator after getting to know them a little.
